Biography

Robert L. Tucker has held an appointment as an Adjunct Professor teaching Insurance Law at the University of Akron School of Law since 1999.  In 2010, he received the John R. Quine Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Award, which is presented to the adjunct professor who has most successfully combined a practical approach to the teaching of law with a scholarly approach to the private practice of law.  His published articles have been cited as authoritative by federal and state courts from Delaware to Hawaii, and in more than 50 articles written by other scholars.

He is one of the founding partners of Hanna, Campbell & Powell, LLP.  His practice focuses primarily on insurance coverage matters, including the representation of both insurers and policyholders.  In addition, he serves as an arbitrator for several elite providers of alternative dispute resolution services, including the American Arbitration Association.  He is a member of the AAA’s Commercial Insurance panel and its Complex Coverage Neutral Evaluation panel, both of which are composed of nationally recognized coverage experts, academics, and former judges with insurance law expertise. 

He received his Bachelor of Science in Commerce from the University of Virginia in 1980, and his Juris Doctor cum laude from the University of Akron School of Law in 1984.  In 2008, he was awarded an LL.M. in Insurance Law with honors from the University of Connecticut School of Law.  Upon the recommendation of the faculty, he was awarded the 2008 Insurance Law Center LL.M. Prize, which is conferred upon the student receiving the Master of Laws degree who best exemplifies commitment to distinguished scholarship in the field of insurance law and dedication to service to the community.
